Praying the Apostolic Prayers:There are no greater prayers that we can pray that reach into the eternal purpose of God more than the Apostolic prayers that are in the Bible. The Apostle Paul prayed these prayers and sent them out to various churches, and it is God’s intention that we continue to pray these prayers for the Church and for ourselves until the Lord Jesus returns.I would like to share out of the Word of a powerful prayer out of Ephesians1. Pray the scriptures then personalize these prayers in your own words. One of the reasons why the anointing of the Holy Spirit is present in the Wednesday night prayer meetings at PTW is that one or more intercessors are praying these Apostolic prayers with the corporate Body of Christ in agreement.“For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers. I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms”.... (Ephesians 1:15-20)

brother,this is a great idea and definetly something that in Church history happened. In the scriptures there are short creeds and sayings everyone would say in unison. Speaking and praying truth together with the entire body of Christ has power.
